More bikes! This time last year I trawled the shops for the one bike! the bike that would do everything. Everybody told me that one bike couldn't do everything. Over what seemed like months I was not sold a Specialized, Cannondale or Pinarello as my body configuration is odd apparently, I need a 50 top tube but a seat height of 68. It actually is a good way of rapid learning that in England most bike shops don't cater for women or perhaps just women like me!. I eventually ended up back in my local shop and buying an old stock Sabbath Silk Road, Titanium and not pretty, I so wanted a pretty bike like the Cannondale 2010 Super Six. However I had a few bits changed on it, removed and replaced the graphics and changed the bar tape until it looked right. Then I didn't want to ride it in Winter as the salt might mark it, enter Grace my pretty little Felt mountain bike. 16 miles on her is the equivalant of about 40 on the Sabbath. Now I can't go quick enough so need a race bike ..... I've come to the conclusion that bikes are like guitars you can never have enough.
It is interesting though that apart from Specialized and Cannondale the must have bikes there and here seem very different. apart from on-line I haven't seen any Trek. Do you have Bianchi, Van Nicholas, Cube or Orbea?
